I've read musings about such a movie, but did not know it was even being filmed.
The release date for part 1 is April 15 2011. The trailer looks pretty good.

I've read the book, and it will be interesting to see how closely the movie follows it. I'm guessing the John Galt speech will be in part 2.

They'll have to update it a lot or else it'll be a joke.
How can anyone not laugh at some guy named Midas Mulligan?

Looking at the trailer it's in a modern setting but still deals with a railroad, Rearden Metal, etc.
I'm guessing there wont be a "typing pool" at Taggart Transcontinental though.

Why not? Ayn Rand and her alter ego, Dagne Taggart, were not feminists, per se. Objectivism was the philosophy and it was not gender specific.

Because the story is updated for modern times.
Typing pools no longer exist, thanks to copy machines and word processors.
